Moments pages are Spoilers Off. You have been warned.

Episode 1

  • The first episode (and the entire series, for that matter) starts with Manatsu struggling to keep her suitcase, which ends up being so heavy that she has to carry it on her back, closed while packing all her clothes, culminating in her tying it shut who-knows-how-many-times with string. It manages to last up until she meets her mom at the docks, resulting in the two of them being buried by Manatsu's clothes while they hug.
  • In general, Manatsu is a very expressive protagonist, with episode 1 alone having her make all sorts of funny faces.
  • While on the search for The Chosen One, Laura ends up peeking her head up out of a manhole cover.
  • Despite being given an important mission to save the Grand Ocean, all Laura cares about is becoming its new queen after all is said and done. Skewed Priorities, much?
  • After first making eye contact with Sango, Manatsu literally slides out of frame while sheepishly laughing.
  • When Manatsu accidentally stumbles upon Laura, the latter tries to pull a Look Behind You, which manages to work despite her attempted escape still failing due to her getting stuck in a rock.
  • The sheer contrast between Manatsu's understandable shock at meeting a mermaid and Laura's complete disinterest, emphasized by the music cutting out whenever it cuts back to Laura.
  • While Manatsu's repeated demands for Chongire to let Laura go perfectly show off her Determinator personality, the fact that she also keeps interrupting Chongire's explanation of his Evil Plan is pretty funny.
  • Despite being informed of an obstacle to her plans in the form of the Precure, the Witch of Procrastination just decides to put off any talks of a new strategy until the next day as she goes back to sleep. Looks like the "Procrastination" part of her title isn't just for show.

Episode 2

  • On the first day at school, Manatsu introduces herself to the class with her signature Genki Girl attitude while her teacher isn't quite sure what to make of Manatsu's use of "Tropica-shine". Even the one-note fanfare winds out in agreement with the teacher.
  • Manatsu comes home from school only to see that Laura crawled all the way from the former's room to the bathtub out of boredom.
  • Laura beautifully jumping out of the aquarium pool under the moonlight is followed by Manatsu getting the brunt of her splashdown afterward.
  • In a meta sense, Laura's comment about mermaids not being able to become Precure is quite ironic considering how a previous season had a Cure Mermaid.

Episode 3

  • Throughout the episode, Manatsu is taken by the cuteness of animals like the giant isopod and the dugong, to the confusion of the other girls around her.
  • Laura revels in Sango gushing about how cute she is, pulling off quite the cat smile in the process.
  • Manatsu is in rare form in Episode 3, with lots of Human Hummingbird moments. During one such moment, she seems totally oblivious to the fact that she's currently holding onto Laura's Mermaid Aqua Pot, with Laura inside... so as she babbles excitedly and her arms flail, we hear Laura screaming from inside as Manatsu shakes her around.
  • During the shots of people without their Motivation Power, you can clearly see one kid with his head on another kid's butt.
  • Cure Summer gets sent flying by the Yaraneeda's projectile right into Laura who futility tries to get out of the way.

Episode 4

  • The episode reveals Cure Papaya's finisher move, Panpaka Papaya Shot. It starts with her turning into a papaya... right before cutting it open and attacking the enemy with lots of tiny orbs, complete with gunshot SFX.
  • During a visit to the museum's mermaid exhibit, Manatsu see a "mermaid's mummy", prompting Laura to hop out of the Mermaid Aqua Pot and voice about how offensive she finds the mermaid exhibits to be. Not to mention the scream effect when the "mummy" first appears.
  • Laura's reaction to Minori explaining the end of The Little Mermaid. Minori's reaction to realizing Laura is real is priceless, especially since, considering how stoic she is most of the time, you wouldn't expect that even she is prone to screaming in terror.
  • Chongire's reaction when Numeri is bandaging his wound. To say he's not enjoying it would be an Understatement.

Episode 5

  • The episode has a minor one, specifically, the fact that Laura, fascinated by Asuka's brawn, reveals herself to the red-head without bothering to notice any possible bystander also bearing witness to her appearance. Asuka's reaction to Laura is...gold.

Episode 6

  • The group's antics while unsuccessfully trying various activities as a club to see what sticks. Reading? Manatsu falls asleep and ends up biting Asuka's arm while still half asleep. Practicing to become queen (Which was naturally suggested by Laura)? Everyone ends up flubbing their lines in one way while Laura also ends up falling asleep. Becoming friends with Usako? It turns out that Usako is actually a character from a game Asuka likes to play, which she admits with an uncharacteristically flushed face. While everyone has fun watching her play, Minori points out that they're not allowed to play games at school. Cosmetics? Everyone agrees on that... until Yuriko reminds them that wearing makeup is banned at school.

Episode 7

  • Kururun brings a parcel to Laura, which she believes is a power-up item for the Cures. When Elda attacks, Laura decides to unwrap the parcel, which actually contains a collection of snacks from the Grand Ocean.
  • While guessing what Kururun's package is, Laura thinks it's a power up. Cue Imagine Spot with said power up being a cannon, with a final attack sporting an Overly Long Name.

Episode 8

  • Manatsu opens her bento...and sees only rice in it. The reason: her mom hastily mixed up her own bento with Manatsu. To say Manatsu was not happy would be an Understatement.
  • Manatsu tries Minori's meatballs...and suffers as a result. Why? Minori made her meatballs from Jew's Mallow, Nato beans, eggshells and tuna eyeballs and blended them all together in a blender!
  • Laura getting impatient watching Minori struggling to crack an egg which causes her to jump out of her pot to show her, only for her to mess it up herself.
  • When their teacher walks in on them in the home econ room while Laura is out in the open, the girls hastily hide her behind them, with only her huge rapidly flopping tail being exposed. Naturally, she assumes that Laura's just a really big fish they caught.
  • The Precures are having issues fighting the latest Yaraneeda due to not being able to eat their lunch. However, they are able to come up with a plan of freezing the Yaraneeda, which allows them to eat their lunch (but only a mouthful).
  • Later on they struggle eating their bento because it was made to look like Kururun, who was watching them eat. Manatsu is completely unaware of the awkward situation and eat its eyes first.

  • Manatsu's attempts to study on her own, only to get distracted or can't do so in peace.
  • When Manatsu has her motivation sapped by the Zenzen Yaraneeda, the others try to get her back up and running again with her favorite things...only for Manatsu to lethargically reject all of them. Asuka even asks if she can punch Manatsu to wake her up.
  • Laura's pot getting knocked into one of the city's waterways. She ended up going through some sewage water to get it back. Once the battle is over, Manatsu hugs the mermaid...and comments that the latter stinks.
  • After the business with the Zenzen Yaraneeda, Manatsu is ready to take on her finals... only to fail all of them, much to the other girls' surprise.
  • Chongire's Zenzen Yaraneeda has absorbed everyone else's motivation and has knocked out Laura's Aqua Pot containing Manatsu's. It looks like things are looking really bad, and a defeat is imminent. That is, until we hear an alarm clock all of a sudden. Chongire's cooking is done, and he has to retreat for the moment to check on the food. When we come to the next scene, the Witch of Procrastination is suddenly asleep, much to Chongire's annoyance.

Episode 11

  • Manatsu's sketch of their sand art is...not so great. The others are at a loss on how to tell her how they feel.
  • The Zenzen Yaraneeda forces Cure Papaya and Cure Flamingo to a deadly and unbearable version of jump rope. The two are definitely not enjoying this; also their reactions are priceless.
  • Summer and Coral go all out against the monster in the most hilarious way possible, by looking behind under their legs and throwing sand and water at it while screaming. Then once Papaya and Flamingo are freed they then make artwork of the trapped monster...and it involves a sculpture of Kururun as well.

Episode 12

  • All of the rumors concerning mermaids, including a taxi driver falling sick when one entered their taxi, music sounding in the school at night and a science figurine in the lab moving on its own. This however is nothing compared to two Judo club members who supposedly saw a mermaid drowning; it may be an Imagine Spot but the judo guys' reactions are gold.
  • The school's disciplinary committee head commenting that mermaids don't exist while drinking. Laura outright says that they do...before escaping after realising what she did. The head's reaction is priceless; she even tries to track where Laura went...except Laura isn't in the canal anymore.
  • Everyone's reaction to the disciplinary committee's arrival. Then Manatsu slips on the skateboard and flings the Aqua Pot towards them! Laura hides behind the whiteboard and is not enjoying this at all.
  • Laura's plan to get back her Aqua Pot? She sneaks around school on the club's skateboard to the Disciplinary Committee office. While the committee's head, Masami Kakuta, still notices her, Laura manages to somehow talk her way out and evade capture...while wearing a school uniform with a long skirt. The cherry on top: Laura ends up having to walk on her tail fin to accomplish that feat.
    • Laura's entrance to the Cures' battle...in her 'school uniform'. The others are surprised by her appearance.

  • Turns out, Manatsu is scared of supernatural horror material. Her reaction to even Minori stating something's "behind her" is enough to make her jump out of her skin.
    • Manatsu's reaction to the doll "talking" is absolutely priceless. She panics and runs away, only to slip on some dust and fall. This turns darker when the abandoned mansion begins to crack over the impact, forcing her friends to run from the dilapidated building.

  • Said Zenzen Yaraneeda fights the Cures using everything Manatsu's packed for the trip, which is just toys for them to play with on the island. When asked if she remembered to pack her homework, Summer just flusteredly dodges the question.

  • Elda is the only general left at the Witch's lair. She is not happy about not having her summer vacation and throws a temper tantrum over being left out. Sheer jealousy, much?

    • Laura recognises the Zettai Yaraneeda as her rock with her wish inscribed onto it. In a desperate bid to keep it to herself, she demands to fight the monster alone. Her reaction is priceless.
    • After the battle, when everyone finishes tossing their stones into the sea, Manatsu promises to help Laura swim, mentioning something about flutter kicks. In fact, Asuka, Minori and Sango also learnt of Laura's wish from the battle! Yep, Laura's attempt to hide her wish ended in vain. To say she was not happy would be an understatement.

    2. One student hands her a band-aid. Said plaster goes right onto her nose, making her look kinda ridiculous.

Episode 29

  • Kururun makes some noise while members from the school newspaper are visiting the Tropical Club, forcing the girls to hastily try to cover this up while making some hilarious faces.

When she tells the rest of the team about how the Cures had a tropical theme to them, Erika thinks of their names as Cure Hibiscus, Cure Palm Tree and Cure Limbo Dance!
    Tsubomi: Cure Limbo Dance?!
    • Even better is how said story is preceded by a title card done in the fashion of HeartCatch's own episode title cards.

Unfortunately this also turns out to be All Just a Dream.
  • The overly long attack name the Cures come up with after planning good names for their attacks. Because they couldn't decide on just one, they put all their ideas together, with the end result taking nearly 40 seconds to say in its entirety.The full name Then it turns out that the Yaraneeda they were going to use the attack on escaped while they were busy saying its name.

Episode 43

  • Manatsu's plan is to waltz right into the Witch of Delay's room and ask her to stop stealing motivation, which in paper sounds like a suicidal one. When she unites with the group to tell her about this plan, everyone says it's too impulsive, but La Mer, recently having learned about Cure Oasis, actually agrees with Manatsu that it's the most viable option.
  • This episode is one big Humiliation Conga for Chongire. Every moment that happens to him except for him turning into a Yaraneeda is Played for Laughs. In this order:
    • Manatsu asks Chongire where the Witch of Delay's room, which the crab casually tells her the route.
    • Chongire decides to personally fight the Pretty Cure, only for the whale that was just earlier a Yaraneeda to crush him with its tail.

    • When the Pretty Cure group rushes to the Witch of Delay's room, the crab, chasing the Pretty Cure, is blocked out by Coral's barrier.

Episode 44

  • A darkly hilarious incident happens after the Witch decides she cannot fight against Cure Oasis by simply declaring they'll finish their fight tomorrow. It then depicts Butler telling her "Today's the day," only for her to invoke the old adage of 'Tomorrow Never Comes', and keep telling him, for what's implied to be centuries, that she'll deal with it tomorrow, whatever he asks of her, as an ironic callback to the first episode.

Episode 45

While La Mer, Summer, and Flamingo use their signature attacks (with their full animation) and Coral uses her usual guard technique (all which fail), Papaya's on the unfortunate end as her animation is cut short by Butler punching her in the middle of it, even screaming "Silence!" while doing so.
  • The finisher against Butler's Yaraneeda form matches with the goofy lighthearted tone that the season has carried. After both Heart Rings merge to summon multiple copies of the elephant and whale that were involved in the finishers, we are greeted with Cure Oasis being summoned with the instrumental of the theme song playing in the background, with Oasis suddenly dancing, happily cheering, and then squishing Butler with her hands. The kicker? Oasis cheerfully waves at Butler's form afterwards.
  • Butler's final fate. After the Fool's Casket is destroyed, he is left without his Motivation Power and becomes an exhausted and apathetic shell of his former self, and he will never get it back and be left in such a way forever. It’s pretty humiliating to see him reduced to such a state, but he truly did deserve it.

    • How do the HeartCatch Pretty Cure! get introduced? Laura, while rapid-firing snowballs at Manatsu and the others in a fit of rage, ends up hitting Erika with one by accident and she immediately retaliates by bumping a tree to make more snow fall on Laura, the two of them forming an immediate rivalry. Tsubomi is left desperately apologizing in her stead with her trademark Opaque Lenses like an ashamed parent.
    • While each group introduces themselves during a snowball fight, Sango can be seen making a pile of snowballs, Yuri is effortlessly dodging each thrown snowball and Minori is ducking her head around an igloo.
    • Erika, Itsuki and Asuka elect to snowboard down a hill, poor Tsubomi becomes a human snowball and helplessly rolls down and Manatsu runs with her trademark energy, all while Yuri, Sango and Minori are watching them with exasperated faces.
    • Once again, Manatsu wants to make shaved ice out of the snow around them, only for the more sensible Minori and Sango to crush her dreams by pointing out how unsafe it is to eat fallen snow.
    • The Heartcatch team's fairies pass by Asuka and Laura chasing a Howan spirit while saying their verbal tics, and Tsubomi and Erika try to convince them that their voices were just imaginary.
  • Manatsu barges in on Erika having a discussion with Chypre and Coffret, who quickly hide behind the castle ramparts just inches away from Manatsu and Erika.
  • Kururun and Potpourri crash into each other in the palace's basement, which quickly scares the latter off much to Kururun's confusion.
  • The Heartcatch team reveal themselves to the outmatched Tropical-Rouge Cures by appearing on top of a tower with Erika laughing hammily while Tsubomi shakily clings to her side.
    Tsubomi: Erika...We didn't have to climb all the way up here you know...
    Erika: If it's a cool entrance you want, it's gotta be someplace high!
  • Summer and the others make some over the top faces after the fairies announce the HeartCatch team's transformation.
  • Both groups make liberal use of Ass Kicks You while fighting off the Mooks.
  • While La Mer blocking the Floral Power Fortissimo is a serious moment, Blossom and Marine have a simultaneous Oh, Crap! moment when they can't change the trajectory of their attack.
  • The Tropical-Rouge Cures sans Summer and La Mer and the HeartCatch Cures use all of their strength to try to push open the door imprisoning the latter group to no avail. Then it turns out that Kururun somehow got inside their prison during the process, quickly revealing that it was a sliding door the whole time, making their efforts meaningless.
  • After Sharon's passing and Laura trying to deny that she was crying after Tsubomi offers her a handkerchief and Erika prods her about it, Manatsu suddenly breaks down into tears instead as Laura comforts her.
  • During the Credits Montage, a toddler can be seen pulling on Asuka's hair.
